H&M Draws Criticism for Meddling in US Politics Yet Again
H&M has once again found themselves embroiled in controversy for allegedly interfering in US politics.
This time, the fashion giant sparked fury by reportedly sending a new letter to the G20.
The move has drawn sharp criticism, with many accusing H&M of overstepping boundaries and meddling where they shouldn't.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have also come under fire for their involvement in US politics.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex penned an open letter to G20 leaders, urging them to prioritize vaccine supplies for all nations.
In the letter, Prince Harry, 37, and Meghan Markle, 40, expressed concerns that promised vaccine donations are not reaching those who need them the most.
Collaborating with WHO Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Sussexes highlighted the stark reality that only 3% of people in low-income countries have received a COVID-19 vaccine dose out of nearly 7 billion doses administered worldwide.
They emphasized that access to vaccines should be considered a basic human right.
The royal couple's advocacy for global vaccine equity gained momentum following their recent visit to New York.
During their trip, they engaged in discussions with WHO leaders on the challenges hindering vaccine access in low-income countries.
While environmental issues are expected to dominate the G20 agenda, the recovery from the pandemic remains a crucial topic for world leaders.
In their joint letter, Meghan, Harry, and Dr. Tedros criticized G20 nations for hoarding surplus vaccines that may go to waste.
They underscored the importance of not squandering these life-saving resources, pointing out that each unused dose represents a missed opportunity to protect a vulnerable individual.
The trio stressed the urgent need for collaboration and solidarity among nations to address global inequities, emphasizing that overcoming the pandemic requires historic levels of cooperation.
They highlighted the interconnectedness of various global challenges, asserting that progress on critical issues like climate change and economic stability hinges on effectively combatting COVID-19.
Meghan's separate advocacy efforts for paid family leave in the US further underscore her commitment to social causes.
Despite her impassioned plea to US Congress leaders for guaranteed paid leave for all parents, President Joe Biden's spending plan notably omitted this provision.
Meghan's dedication to advocating for societal issues reflects her ongoing efforts to effect positive change.
The joint letter penned by the royal couple and Dr. Tedros is just one of their initiatives in support of vaccine equity.
Their previous appearances at events like the Global Citizen Live underscore their commitment to raising awareness about the importance of equitable vaccine distribution.
By partnering with organizations like VaxLiv and Global Citizen, Meghan and Harry continue to champion causes that promote global health and well-being.
